USGS Confirms Oklahoma Quakes Are Due To Fracking
According to the United States Geological Society's recent findings

"Large areas of the United States that used to experience few or no earthquakes have, in recent years, experienced a remarkable increase in earthquake activity that has caused considerable public concern as well as damage to structures. This rise in seismic activity, especially in the central United States, is not the result of natural processes.

Instead, the increased seismicity is due to fluid injection associated with new technologies that enable the extraction of oil and gas from previously unproductive reservoirs. These modern extraction techniques result in large quantities of wastewater produced along with the oil and gas. The disposal of this wastewater by deep injection occasionally results in earthquakes that are large enough to be felt, and sometimes damaging. Deep injection of wastewater is the primary cause of the dramatic rise in detected earthquakes and the corresponding increase in seismic hazard in the central U.S."

If we could only trust their honest reporting of data... Ha!!!

If anything, they just debunked the tracking argument. Ya?

And NASA proved global warming is real.... except, no... wait a minute.... they're under investigation for intentionally falsifying data.


No way a government agency would lie to push an agenda?

This advertisement brought to you by a whole bunch of money.

Now who would want to fracking to stop? I do mean those with a vested monetary interest; not the obvious public.

Earthquakes are up 28,250% between 2009 when the fracking began and last year.

This has me convinced it is real (if I ever had any doubts), and I for one don't want it happening in NZ.

Odd that. Every time an alphabet agency speak I start looking for the lie and the reason behind it. A high placed friend of the Brotherhood seems to want to protect the oil interest of the Middle East.

I have no scientific basis for this claim, but I believe oil is a naturally occurring, renewable resource and mother nature uses it to lubricate herself. So removing it from particular areas obviously has consequences.
